Many are recommending Feedly.com as a replacement, and Feedly is saying they're making a Google Reader clone based on Google's APIs. Unfortunately, I'm on IE8 at work, and Feedly apparently does not like that so it's currently completely unusable for me. If I find something good, I'll post about it. I'm unhappy to see Google Reader go. It's one of my daily reads, if only so my feed doesn't get completely clogged up from not reading everything.

I'm not opposed to new things when they're better than what I have, but going from one stop at Google Reader to 37 stops at all of those sites I'm subscribed to forking sucks.

yeah, that's the thing. I want one page with all my stuff like with iGoogle, on the Google page it suggests using the Chrome store as a replacement. But the problem with that is, we use Google at work now so I usually sign into my work Google on Chrome, and my personal Google on Firefox. I know you can sign in on more than one account in one browser, but I don't like all this mixing of work and personal stuff.

What I liked was the ability to group the blogs so I could focus on a topic at a time. I will never, ever, ever be able to visit all of the library/book review sites in my feed. Ever.

I'm also upset about Google Reader. I checked out Feedly though and it let me just sync up my Google Reader account and imported everything for me. It even kept my blogs in their lists (e.g., food blogs, crafting blogs, etc.). I haven't used it much so far other than importing my feeds.

I've been doing work in the main window and personal in an 'incognito' window. I think your workplace can still see where you go, but you don't leave any trace behind or something? It says when you pull up the incognito window, but tl;dr.

I'm also on the look out for a new RSS Feed whosits. I have the Reeder app on my phone (not that I read blogs on my phone really), but they only have an app for MAC. I can't remember at the moment what app I have on my iPad, but I might see if they do a browser edition.

hmm, I may try that. I just hate the idea of having them both in the same browser for some reason. I'm being a stubborn old goat.

I'm sad that it's getting discontinued :( Thanks for the new suggestions people have posted

I've been using Feedly for a while and love it! I'm so glad to find out everything will seamlessly transition.

How in the world does one add a new blog using Feedly? I tried adding the feed url into the space for it (upper right hand of the page) and then what? If I click the magnifying glass nothing happens, and I can't see any other thing to click.

Also, since Feedly is only taking the feeds from our existing G-Reader accounts, and changes made in Feedly (marking read, deleting, etc) will also be made to the G-Reader account, what happens when G-Reader goes away?

For now, I went back to re-set my old Bloglines account and import my G-Reader feeds, but the formatting screws up now and then on the page and I can't add anything using the RSS Subscribe button in Firefox - it only opens the Bloglines default page telling me to open an account, so I have to do it using the green ADD button. The Firefox plug-in they suggest doesn't add to Bloglines but to some *other* newsreader site. (sigh) I miss the old Bloglines format and will *really* miss G-Reader!

i need to set aside some time to actually research some of this crepe, but the crux of my problem at the moment is thus:

i don't actually use google reader *directly* much at all (almost never, i'd say). i use reeder, my favoritest wonderful app, on my iPhone, my iPad, and my mac, every day, all day... but it *syncs* with google reader to get my stuff. i'm hoping they'll find a new way to sync with something else instead (feedly?) but i guess in the meantime i just have to wait around with fingers crossed.

From what I understand, Feedly is currently built on Google Reader but they are making it a standalone thingy so when Google Reader dies everything will transition on its own. Up to this point I've done all my feed management in GReader so I'm not sure how it all works in Feedly yet, but that link might help out with that. Sorry for such a vague answer!

Has anyone tried BlogLovin? http://www.bloglovin.com/ I remember some fashion blogs having badges on their site to follow on BlogLovin', but I've never used it.

Feedly seems ok, but I don't want to download the plugin on my work computer. I'm trying The Old Reader, but they said it could take a while to import all my subscriptions, so I'll have to wait and see on that one.

I signed up for feedly, but I don't see an option to just use it in the browser--does it have to be a chrome add on? I will check the FAQs on the site, but that irritates me, because I can't get it to work in my incognito window, and I can't have my blog tab in my regular work window! Obviously! Bloglovin does seem to work in the incognito window though. I'm going to try both and see which I prefer.
